065: Aprés Moi, le Déluge

[contract_star]

[Hei has been avoiding the Plane for a variety of reasons. In any case, he has been very busy back home with the Constellation, and all of the hard work seems to have finally paid off...maybe.]

[He's at his hut, sitting with his feet dangling over the side, staring hard at a letter in his hands. His expression is unreadable.]


[ooc: Concurrent with a prompt that'll be posted in a little bit.]

[Stops by in his new digs] And now it is my turn to ask about your wellbeing.

[contract_star]

I'm fine.

It's not the Syndicate, at least.

[lamb_of_gold]

Small relief.

[contract_star]

The EPR wants to meet with me.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... Hei?

[contract_star]

Ikki, hi.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[He sidles over.]

Whatcha got?

[contract_star]

It's a list of instructions. [He looks at it again.]

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Hei...How are you? It's been a while.

[contract_star]

Diva. [Slight smile.] It has been awhile, hasn't it? I'm alright. You?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{She smiles back at him, and approaches to sit next to him}

I've been fine. I'm glad you're alright. I was worried about you, Hei.

[contract_star]

Sorry I haven't been over to visit. The Constellation has pretty much been ruling my life.

It's good, though. We've helped a lot of people.

[Juni hasn't seen Hei for a while, so she'll be edging over to him] Are you okay?

[contract_star]

Hi, Juni. I'm alright.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

So what's the letter about then?

[contract_star]

...It's kind of complicated.

[mercwamouth]

[Deadpool 'ports directly behind him and ganders at the letter]

Really, who writes letters anymore?

[[ooc: Also, the phrase is "Après moi, le déluge"]]

[contract_star]

[Hei is spinning around with a throwing knife as soon as he senses Deadpool's presence, though he stops when he sees who it is.]

You really need to stop doing that.

[ooc: you know what? die.]

[mercwamouth]

But it's so much fun!

[[ooc: Haha, well, thanks for fixing "déluge", but "après" is still wrong]]

[Dino has also been avoiding the Plane for his own reasons, but he figured this was as good a time as any to wander back]

Good or bad news?

[contract_star]

I don't know.

Hello, Dino.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Hello Hei.

So what's going on?

[didorothy]

[Sam stops and looks at Hei and is very quiet]

Thank you.

['for saving my life']

[Sam shoves his hands into his pockets and straightens up; now he is less serious]

I'm inexplicably compelled to ask you about the contents of that letter.

[Sam is of course not asking; he's offering, and that is all]

[contract_star]

[Hei really has no idea how to respond to that. He stares at Sam for awhile, keeping his expression carefully neutral.]

I'm sorry. That we were too late for the others.

[He's silent for awhile, going back to staring at the letter.]

Not really a letter. Instructions. A certain organization wants to ally itself with the Constellation.

[didorothy]

Are they a group you want as an ally, or a group you don't think you can trust?
